9 SEAT WIDTH AND DEPTH


9 Seat Width and Depth

Changing Seat Width [Figure 9, Figure 10, Figure 11]

1. Start with either the left side or right side of the wheelchair and remove four (4) 1/4-20 x 1.25” screws (‘C’) and four(4) 1/4-20 nuts(‘E’) from the seat frame(‘A’) (2 in the front and 2 in the back) on the same side.

2. Proceed to the lower frame (‘B’) and remove four (4) 1/4-20 x 2.25” screws (‘D’) and four (4) 1/4-20 nuts(‘E’) (2 in the front and 2 in the back) on the same side.

3. Grasp the seat frame and lower frame and pull towards oneself observing the holes being uncovered. The Frame can be adjusted by 2” on each side which is 5 holes @ 1/2” center to center on each side. For example to increase the width of the chair by 2” overall each side has to be increased by 1”.

4. Place the screws and nuts in their respective holes and hand tighten. The 1/4-20 x 1.25” screws attach to the seat frame while the 1/4-20 x 2.25” screws attach to the lower frame. See Figure 5b and 5c for hole locations on the crossbar and seat frame.

5. Now start with the side (either left or right) which remains to be adjusted and remove four (4) 1/4-20 x 1.25” screws(‘C’) and four (4) 1/4-20 nuts(‘E’) from the seat frame(‘A’) as well as remove four (4) 1/4-20 x 2.25” screws(‘D’) and four (4) 1/4-20 nuts (‘E’) from the lower frame.

6. Repeat step # 3 and #4 and check the overall size of the chair before fully tightening the screws and nuts.

Figure 10 Figure 11



Changing Seat Depth (Capella) [Figure 12]

1. The Capella seat depth is adjusted from the rear of the

wheelchair. It has 3 different depths of seat rail which come with the standard configuration. The depth of the seat rails are 15”-16”, 17”-18”, and 19”-20”. Remove four (4) 1/4-20 x 2” flat head screws (‘A’) and four(4) 1/4-20 nuts(‘B’) from the bottom side of the back cane bracket(‘C’).

2. Move the stroller handle assembly (‘D’) backwards 1” (for example if one wants to change the depth from 15” to 16”) towards the back of the chair and re-insert the four (4) 1/-4-20 x 2” flat head screws and four (4) 1/4-20 nuts into the ‘new’ holes. Tighten the screws and nuts and check the stability of the stroller handle assembly.

3. As the depth of the chair increases or decreases the horizontal location of the wheel

4. must also change. (Refer Changing Horizontal Location of Rear Wheels).

5. If one would like to change the depth of the wheelchair from 15”-16” to 19”-20” then the seat rails need to be replaced.

Figure 12



Changing Seat Depth (Capella 45) [Figure 13]

1. The Capella 45 wheelchair has only one depth of seat rail

which come with the standard configuration. The seat depth is adjusted from the front of the chair.

2. To change the seat depth of the wheelchair, the front leg rest hanger must be moved in or out.

3. As the depth of the chair increases or decreases the horizontal location of the wheel

4. Must also change. (Refer Changing Horizontal Location of Rear Wheels).

Figure 13

2. Remove two(2) 5/16-18 x 2” socket cap screws and two(2) 5/16-18 nuts from the wheel lock/anti-tip assembly.

3. If the seat depth is increased by 1” (from 15” to 16”) move the wheel lock/anti-tip assembly backwards by 1” and insert the two(2) 5/16-18 x 2” socket cap screws and two(2) 5/16-18 nuts into the ‘new’ hole locations. If the seat depth is decreased by 1” (from 16” to 15”) move the wheel lock/anti –tip assembly forwards by 1” and insert the screws and nuts.

4. Repeat steps #2 and #3 for the other side of the chair and ensure the screws on both sides of the wheelchair holding the wheel lock/anti-tip assembly are inline.

12 FRONT CASTERS


12 Front Casters

Replacing/Installing Front Casters [Figure 19]

Note: This procedure for replacing with the same size front caster. 1. Remove the nut (‘A’), bolt (‘B’) and spacers (‘C’) which secure the

caster to the fork assembly (‘D’). 2. Remove the front caster. 3. Slide in the new 4,5,6,7 or 8 inch front caster into the space

between the fork. 4. Tighten the nut, bolt and spacers to secure the caster into place. 5. Repeat this procedure for the other front caster wheel assembly

if required. 6. To properly tighten caster journal system and guard against

flutter, perform the following check: a. Tip back of wheelchair to floor b. Pivot both forks and casters to top of their arc

simultaneously. c. Let casters drop to bottom of arc (wheels should swing

once to one-side, then immediately rest in a straight downward position).

d. Adjust locknuts according to freedom of caster swing. 7. Test wheelchair for maneuverability. 8. Re-adjust locknuts if necessary and repeat STEPS 6 to 7 until

correct. 9. Snap dust cover over the locknut and stem.

Figure 19

12 FRONT CASTERS


Replacing/Installing Front Forks [Figure 20]

1. Remove the locknut (‘A’) which secures the caster stem bolt (‘D’) to

the caster housing (‘E’). 2. Drop the front caster and fork assembly out of the caster housing. 3. Remove the locknut (‘B’) which secures the caster stem to the fork

(‘C’) 4. Also Remove the bearing (‘F’), Fork spacer seal (‘G’) and nylon spacer

(‘H’) 5. Follow REPLACING/INSTALLING FRONT CASTERS guide in this section

to remove the front caster from the fork assembly. 6. Place the caster in the new fork and assemble with the caster nut and

bolt and spacer. 7. Secure the new fork and caster assembly in place by using the locknut

and caster stem bolt. 8. Follow steps 5 to 9 of REPLACING/INSTALLING FRONT CASTERS guide

to properly install the new fork assembly and prevent fluttering.

Figure 20

12 FRONT CASTERS


Replacing/Installing Front Fork Assembly [Figure 21, Figure 22]

1. Insert the caster fork assembly into the wheelchair main side rail opening as shown in Figure 6c.

2. Important: Ensure the caster fork is 90° perpendicular to the flat surface 3. Insert the 1/4-20 x 1” socket head cap screw (‘A’) through the wheelchair main

side rail opening and caster stem housing as shown in Figure 6c. The socket head cap screw is used to hold the fork stem in place so that when the angle of the fork assembly is adjusted it is maintained. The fork angle can be set at 0º, 2º, 4º or 6º as shown in Figure 6d.

4. Also secure the fork assembly to the main side rail by using a 1/2-20 lock nut (‘B’) as shown in Figure 6c.

14 ANTI-TIPPERS


14 Anti-Tippers

WARNING: After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all attaching hardware is tightened securely – otherwise injury or damage may occur.

Installing/Adjusting the Anti-Tippers

WARNING: Anti-tippers are specific to the different seat-to floor angles and/or seat-to-floor heights. Refer to the chart in this section of the manual for correct usage and adjustment. If these requirements CANNOT be achieved, DO NOT us the wheelchair. Contact a qualified technician. If changing the seat-to-floor height with or without a change to seat-to-floor angle, the correct anti-tippers MUST be used to maintain a 1 ½“ to 2” ground clearance. Seat-to-floor angle of 3 degrees to 6 degrees: if so equipped, anti-tippers MUST be attached at all times. In as much as the anti-tippers are an option on this wheelchair (you may order with or without the anti-tippers), Future Mobility Healthcare Inc. strongly recommends ordering the anti-tippers as a safeguard for the wheelchair user. Anti-tippers MUST be fully engaged and snap buttons fully protruding out of adjustment holes. Ensure both anti-tippers are adjusted to the same mounting hole.

1. Bolt the anti-tip assembly (‘B’) onto the anti-tip mount tube weldment (‘A’) at the desired height

2. Measure the distance between the bottom of the anti-tipper wheels and the ground/floor.

3. If the distance between the bottom of the anti-tipper wheels and the ground/floor is not 1-1/2” to 2” adjust the anti-tipper location.

Note: A 1 1/2” to 2” clearance between the bottom of the anti-tipper wheels and the ground/floor MUST be maintained at all times.

Changing Vertical Location of Rear Wheels [Figure 26]

1. Pull the sleeve (‘A’) downwards on the tube to release the pin engagement
